JAMES B. SHARP, OF NEIV YORK, N. Y.

SUSPENDER END.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,732, dated January 13, 1885.

Application filed November 8, 1883. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JAMES B. SHARP, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in SuspenderEnds, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement on the suspender-end described in Letters Patent No. 192,535, granted to me June 26, 1877, the principal object of this present improvement being to save labor and stock and to reduce the cost of the article.

The precise nature of my improvement is pointed out in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a face view. Fig. 2 is a rear view, partly in section. Fig. -3 is a transverse section on a larger scale than the previous figures,the plan of section being indicated by the line 00 m, Fig. 1.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

The suspe'nder-end described in my Patent No. 192,535 is made of a'fiat tape which is bent into a loop, and the parts of which, extending up from such loop, are laid flatwise upon each other throughout their entire length and united by stitching through them, their extreme ends being secured together by a metallic fastening device.

My new Suspender-end is made of a flat tape, A, one end of-which is bent into a loop, B, and secured to the body of the tape by a metallic fastening device, 0. In order to enable this fastening device to take a firm hold, I provide the same with barbs or teeth a, which penetrate the tape, as shown in Fig. 3. It will be seen from this description that by this present improvement a suspen der-end can be produced which has all the advantages of the suspender-end made according to my Patent No. 192,535, while at the same time about two-thirds of the stock is saved and the labor of stitching the ends of the tape together throughout the entire length is not required.

Furthermore, my new suspender-end is lighter and more convenient to wear, particularly in the hot season, than that made according to my above-named patent.

I am aware of the Suspender-end described in the patent of B. J. Greely, Reissue No. 9,155, dated April 13, 1880, original patent dated November 5, 1878, which describes a Suspender-end formed of a round cord which is bent into loops held in position by a metallic fastening device. In this the end of the loop is placed against the side of the tape, and a fastening device is required with two sockets, one to embrace the body of the tape and the other to embrace the end of the loop. The article becomes bulky, inconvenient for wear, and expensive to make, and, besides, the end of the loop is liable to work loose, being retained solely by the fastening device.

In my suspenderend two flat surfaces are placed in contact with each other and connected by the metallic fastening device, so that the friction between the surfaces assists in retaining the parts in position, and the fastening device requires but a single socket.

I do not claim, broadly, a suspender-end formed of a loop and a metallic device for holding the parts together.
